Still here. In London. I can't decide if I love it or if I hate it. I'm pretty sure it's both. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things to do here. Loads of attractions to see and people to meet and cities and countries to travel and explore. That's why I love it: the ability to see the world is at my fingertips. But it's not home. It's not Chicago. And that's why I hate it. Maybe once I've learned all that I need to learn in order to feel comfortable here, I will fall madly in love with this city. I can only hope *sigh*.

1. I must learn to order meat in {kilo}grams and not in pounds. I also must learn to measure in this way, as well, as most recipes and food portions are in grams. 2. Washer and dryers are combined into one machine. Because of that, laundry loads have to be super small and each load takes about 3 hours. I'm honestly doing laundry 3-4 days a week. Woof.3. Leyland is my new Home Depot. It has paint and wire cutters and any other home supplies you may need to make your flat feel like home. I kind of think it's better because it's smaller, and I don't have a lot of space to wander around wondering where to find a product. 4. I can't find large packs of Q-tips or hangers anywhere. Because of that, Amazon is becoming my new bff. I feel like I'm cheating on Target. Sorry Target, I will come back for you. That's a promise. 5. They LOOOOooooVE chicken here. There are so many chicken restos here: KFC, Chicken Express, Nandos, Chicken Shop, Chickenland {ok so I don't think that is a real resto here, but you get the idea, there's a place that specializes in "THE BEST" chicken on every block}.6. Fruit, veggies, and cheese are amazingly juicy + flavorful +fresh + to.die.for here. I crave it all the time.7. There are no stop signs. Nor are there speed limits. At least I haven't seen any.8. I'm pretty sure all I do is walk and eat here. I need to get a Fitbit. 9. A monger is one who sells a specific good. The meat monger sells meat, the fishmonger sells fish, the iron monger sells lightbulbs, tools, small kitchen appliances, and cooking utensils. Therefore, when I have a list of things to buy, I can't simply go to Target for everything; I need to go to specific mongers or stores for each item. So it takes hours to get errands completed. 10. Most grocery stores deliver. You can go to the actual store, like Whole Foods {the Disney World of all grocery stores!}, pick out your food, and then have them deliver the bags within a 2 hour window for you {so you don't have to lug the bags on the tube} OR you can order the food through an online grocer, like Ocado, in the comfort of your own home and have it delivered on a specific day and time. Oh my word...it's the best thing EVER!
